“A truly exceptional collection that covers every great art movement and includes every great artist. My only regret was that I did not get there sooner in the day, so I rushed through the 19th and 20th centuries, of which there was a great deal to see. I was particularly impressed by the Van Eyck, whose works are very rare, and by the inclusion of great American artists like Homer, Whistler, Pollock, and Rothko. While these artist are found often in American collections, they are rare to see in Europe.”
